Eating a Mango

Mangoes could be eaten in many ways. It’s important to choose the right time to cut a mango. A mango is ready to be
consumed when it turns golden yellow or 'mango' color and there is a distinct and a beautiful smell. Choose the soft
and sweet smelling mangoes and place them in a bowl of water at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This is important
since the mango is warm inside as the ripening process is going on. Putting it in water stops the ripening process and
brings out the flavour of the mango at its best. The mangoes should not be refrigerated. If you want to eat cool mangoes
refrigerate only 30 minutes before eating, but after dipping them in water at room temperature.
